Puerto Rico Hackers Providing Valuable Expertise
Puerto Rico’s hacker community has developed several solutions over the past year to increase the effectiveness of government agencies and enhance the quality of service provided to citizens. This year it is anticipated that more applications will be developed as part of the second edition of the Tech Summit, which will be held on June 4 in San Juan.
This event will provide the opportunity for programmers to develop technical solutions that make agencies simply work better. Additionally, local and international technology officers will be present to provide valuable input at this government-sponsored event.
Below is an excerpt from a News is My Business article on the event:
“Many of the applications created [last year] are currently in use or will be launched soon, while others influenced other developments that have received awards,” said Giancarlo González, the government’s CIO. This year we will have different challenges ranging from applications to increase citizen security, to identifying areas with features to attract certain types of investments, among others.”
